Bands that choose to take literary works as the thematic inspiration behind their music can tend be pretty hit or miss. It's an interesting idea, this fusion of artistic mediums, but it's not always executed in a way that makes the music feel relevant to the writing. Fortunately, BM Frenchies The Great Old Ones are proving this year that they know very well how to do just that, and they're doing H.P. Lovecraft proud yet again.

I'm just going to leave this comment without response. Arguments about who is more knowledgeable about something are silly anyway.
Again, I don't know what something is because I disagree with you. Gotta love the logic

Lulz man don't really know if you are serious. It has post element but it certainly is more rooted in atmospheric black metal.
I don't really know what to say about your "sources". If you think that youtube or band itself are relieable when it comes to classification of music, then keep thinking that this is post black.
some "sources" which don't think this is post black and are as relieable as the ones you posted: one two three four
your argument is just as funny, if not more.

So, the fact that 6/8 reviewers (including the one on MS) consider this to be post-black means nothing at all. Makes me wonder what point you see in classification if the majority of perspectives doesn't define the genre. There's so much sludge (not to mention other post elements) in this album that you could cut it with a knife.

I'm with Joe when it comes to the post-black metal tag's usefulness, not that I care much for these little genre debates anymore. From what I can tell this ticks all the boxes for atmospheric black metal with a hint of shoegaze thrown in.

Last.fm is credible now? I see so many bands that couldn't possibly be considered post-black. It would be useful if people used it right.

One could easily say that it would be useful if those reviews / the band used it right. Last.fm tags are counted from hundreds, maybe thousands of people, so seeing as your argument is based on numbers the sheer volume of Last.fm tags technically outweighs it (hence showing how it's kind of a useless and vague term).

Do you honestly believe that thousands of people believe Avril Lavigne is post-black? Let's be serious here

remember all the discussion we had on my list and you wanted to classify blut aus nord and terra tenebrosa as progressive metal band, which no one else agrees with. Think about double standards and hypocrisy. The fact that some sources think this is post black just makes them less credible.
Moreover, this album has a lot more in common with atmospheric black metal. Why not cutting it with that knife, then?

Once again LeKiwi decides what a genre is based on his perception of it and disregards the perspectives of others.

I actually have no strong opinion on the subject of post-black. I think it's a thing, but I don't use it too often. I kinda started this as a laugh / devil's advocate so I'll probably just leave it there now.

I have no idea... Because I bought this album together with the debut and I still haven't given them a proper listening. I heard the debut once but only in the background whebn it got out and only heard like 2 tracks from this one. I should get my act together.

User below me: Please, DO NOT continue with the previous comment. I beg you.

But....it's listed as one of your favourite bands...I'm confused
In any case, you should really listen to this. It's great.

Well, from the tracks I've heard I love it... Plus, I've seen them live and they truly shine on that light.

EDIT: Another reason is that, while I do enjoy everything on my fav band list, Some bands I know less than others. Some of them are there because I want to get notifications if there are any news about them. So while my fav band list does show my tastes, I also use it as a tool to keep me informed. I do the same on FB.

Agreed. I don't see why people will so adamantly argue an arbitrary classification which does absolutely nothing in regards to one's actual enjoyment of the album or experience.

Genre debates can be fun, but sometimes people go out of there way to prove their point by any bizarre, erroneous or indeed arbitrary means, instead of just discussing things in a pleasant way and subjective way.
